MOVIE: "What makes a family" (2001)

ako'y kumakanta ng: "O bakit ba? Tayo's nagkaganito? Sana'y wala ng wakas ang pag-ibig nating ito"


Starring Brooke Shields, whoopi goldberg.

I will give this heavy drama 10 thumbs up! heheh.. Bheib, watch this.. sbrang nakakaiyak!!

IT has a very fast plot. VEry interesting and realistic.
BAsically, it a custody battle between the biological grandparents and the lesbian partner of the biological mother.

I'm glad may mga ganitong movies. Movies that show the realities, unique challenges, and how ordinary yet special a homosexual partnership/relationship is.

The bottom line: WHAT MAKES A FAMILY? HOW WILL YOU DEFINE "FAMILY"
in many nursing, psychology, sociology books... a family includes homes with homosexual parents. It includes a home with step parents, or with extended family. So basically, "family" is uniquely defined by each individual.

I guess lesson learned on this is that LAST WILL and TESTAMENT, POWER OF ATTORNEY and all other legal documets and papers are at particular neccesity for gay couples. this movie particularly showed how the law can break a happy family apart. And how stupid laws that descriminate against sexual orientation destroys many people and families. Although not all gay couples deal with a child, they all deal with properties and assets that may be taken away. If only same-sex marraiage be legalized and acknowledge by every country in the world. IF ONLY...
